7 Brilliant Bike Storage Solutions For Any Home

Making room for bikes in your home can prove difficult. Due to their size and weight, they often disrupt the flow of a room, clashing with furniture, materials, textures and more. Besides all that, it's not easy coordinating colours between a bicycle and your decor.

That's why you don't see too many of these wheeled-machines in a Victorian interior.

But the biggest problem is that bikes are almost purely functional, meant for recreation and exercise. So the question becomes: how do you bring them into your home without upsetting the aesthetic balance and integrity of your living space?

Here, this interior maintains its clean and uncluttered look by placing its athletic equipment on the balcony, while the bench and green carpeting adds an imaginative touch which reminds us of the park.

This clever mix of the functional and creative transforms a boring space into something far more appealing.

Not every home-owner wants to conceal their bikes. Some prefer to display them proudly, as in this instance.

Here, these bicycles are easily the most conspicuous part of the home and are meant to stand out. This becomes apparent when you consider the air-pump on the floor, the thicker frames and tires of these two models, and the fact that when the light hits them they cast deep, dark shadows on the wall behind them.

If you love your bikes why hide them? Make them the centerpiece of your home.
